Investigating Comey for posting a picture of shells that say "8647"? Really? How preposterous and lame.

What a great song! Thanks Lynda.

More than 400 patriots in Carlsbad, CA on May Day.

🤔😱😓

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

"Indeed, the rightwing critique of empathy is not an attempt to find a better way to achieve altruistic ends; it’s an excuse to turn away from altruism entirely. We are witnessing the construction of the ideological architecture to excuse violence and suffering on a mass scale."

If #SusanCollins, #RandPaul and #LisaMurkowski would just leave the R's and become independent, some of these appointments could be stopped. If just a few Congresspeople would grow a spine, we could stop these tariffs. Wisconsin showed that #Elon's money can't buy every election.

If they can abduct people, with no due process, then no one is safe. March Sat. April 5

I have friends who are not bring cell phones to rallies this weekend. My response was that if they come for me (white, relatively wealthy, suburban woman with a “professional” career) than we have already lost. Get out in the streets on Saturday - before you are scared to be in the streets.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Cutting basic law of war training is not just wrong — it could put soldiers at risk of violating the Geneva Conventions. And scrapping combat medicine training? That will put lives at risk. This is an incredibly short sighted move.

I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Donald Trump would rather stop funding medical research, medical & food aid, education, food assistance, school lunch, Social Security than make the rich pay taxes. And that’s all you need to know about the convicted felon, charity thief, insurrectionist, fraudster. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

FACT: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.

I am stunned by @maddow.msnbc.com 's report tonight on the abrupt cancellation of vaccination programs abroad and at home. Our country is not only less safe in terms of national security, but also less safe from infectious diseases as a result. Why? cruelty or willful ignorance? So sad.

Very Well Said and Accurate….

Everything the Senator says is true. By my timeline Witkoff was actually sitting waiting to meet with Putin when he accepted the group invite.

There never was a reasonable rationale NO MORE BILLIONAIRES! newrepublic.com/article/1930...

a day in the life of a privileged white lady doing my little bit of resistance: volunteered in a Title 1 school reading with first graders who are struggling; zumba class; cooked a healthy meal for a friend with stage 4 cancer; joined 50 or so to demonstrate in front of our local Tesla dealership.

has anyone seen any reports of the postcard blitz of sending cards to the white house on March 15? Is it too soon to know?

@jonstewart2028.bsky.social and @chrismurphyct.bsky.social were so spot-on Monday on @thedailyshow.com about the Dems and what they need to do.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

@maddow.msnbc.com Have you considered adding a segment on protest MUSIC in addition to the town halls and demonstrations? If so, please consider @emmasrevolution.bsky.social who have been awesome at writing and performing music for the resistance.

@maddow.msnbc.com Mike Levin is a democrat and has consistently held town hall meetings with no police registration required. Please correct your error calling him a Republican.

@alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social vote NO on the budget Please.
